To improve things such as dropout rate must change and deal with students rather than systems
Talked about a Superintendent that required students going to dropout to meet with him
Technology is not a nice tool for us to play around with...it is the fire of the internal combustion engine that will change education
If we do not embrace technology in learning we will become obsolete
Globalization of learning
Our children will be world players wheather they want to or not
Students of today are different...have adapted their lives around technology
Adults need to begin to understand how to deliver instruction using it
education must change and adopt the new delivery system
21st Century Learning
Challenge is to do things much differently than to improve on what we are doing now
Moving away from the inputs we provide to students learning the skills needed for the 21st century
NCLB has moved us to performance based
Need to look for new and innovative ways to provide resources beyond the traditional teacher, classroom, etc.
How can schooling take place outside of a "school"?
Holding on to what it was like will cause us to fall short of the goals in the future
NCLB assessment is not a standard for excellance in education
Teacher preparation issues
Student learning - need quality early childhood educaton program, rethink high school experience,
